> How to Hire People with Disabilities
>
> People with disabilities can be a good source of qualified applicants
> for managers and supervisors to hire quickly.
>
> Filling Jobs
>
> Federal agencies fill jobs two ways, competitively and
> noncompetitively. Persons with disabilities may apply for jobs filled
> either way. Jobs filled competitively are advertised through vacancy
> announcements. Jobs that are filled noncompetitively do not have to
> be advertised. Instead, a selecting official can select a person with
> a disability who has a Schedule A certification and is qualified for
> the job. People who are selected for jobs must meet the qualification
> requirements for the jobs and be able to perform the essential duties
> of the jobs with or without reasonable accommodation.
>
> Jobs Filled Noncompetitively
>
> People who are disabled and have a certification letter from a State
> Vocational Rehabilitation Office or the Department of Veterans
> Affairs may apply for noncompetitive appointment through the Schedule
> A hiring authority. Applicants with certification letters may apply
> directly to agencies' Selective Placement Coordinators or their
> equivalent to be considered for jobs. Managers can contact the
> agency's Selective Placement Coordinator or human resources office or
> their equivalent to obtain more information about sources for
> applicants with disabilities.
>
> Appointment Authorities
>
> The Federal Government has special appointing authorities for persons
> with disabilities. To be eligible for these noncompetitive, Schedule
> A appointments, a person must meet the definition for being disabled.
> The person must have a severe physical, cognitive, or emotional
> disability; have a history of having such disability; or be perceived
> as having such disability. In addition, the person must obtain a
> certification letter from a State Vocational Rehabilitation Office or
> the Department of Veterans Affairs to be eligible for appointment
> under these special authorities.
>
> Disabled veterans may also be considered under special hiring
> programs for disabled veterans with disability ratings from the
> Department of Veterans Affairs of 30% or more. Managers and
> supervisors can contact the agency's human resources office or
> Selective Placement Coordinator or their equivalent to obtain more
> information on appointment authorities.
